PLEASE NOTE: You will first be picked up by a small/large bus to take you to the main bus station where you will switch vehicles

Seeing the northern lights is a pinnacle, bucket-list experience. And watching the ever-shifting lights flicker in the sky above mountains and the ocean far from city lights is breathtaking.

In Iceland, the aurora borealis attracts everyone from professional photographers to travellers with the phenomenon on their list of things they must experience. You’ll have the best chance of seeing the night lights when it’s cold and dark outside and the aurora activity is high. The cold isn’t a factor, but the sky has to be clear, which is usually on extremely cold nights.

The phenomenon is caused by solar winds, which push electronic particles to collide with molecules of atmospheric gases that cause the emission of bright light. The best time to see the northern lights in Iceland is from September to March.

Choosing a small group tour gives you a more personal experience and increases your chances of seeing the northern lights in Iceland as a team of experts reviews the weather, monitors the aurora forecast and finds the best locations to see auroras.

Please be advised that the tour is dependent on the weather, cloud cover and solar activity, and sightings are not guaranteed. If you don’t see any northern lights during the tour, you will get another chance, free of charge, up to two years after the original booked date.

Your professional guide will help you use the best camera settings to capture photos of the northern lights.
